Impressive Tin guitars from a guy close to me

The Big Kahuna · Jul 28, 2014

I just came across this guy on Facebook, via a page for Lincolnshire musicians. I know they're not ukes, but they're not guitars either, and I think they're close enough to the kind of esoteric stuff that finds its way onto this board.

Rest assured, I shall be commissioning one VERY soon!

I might ask if he also builds ukes.

Oh yeah the good ole Cigar Box 3 string guitar, Diddley Bow uses 1 string. They made these out of old wooden cigar boxes or whatever else the imagination could think of. Tuned DAD, or close to it, with a bottle neck slide and you can make some good noise. Most old timer Blues players down South started on one of those.

For those that haven't visited CigarBoxNation.com, a forum similar to UU except for cigar box and related instruments of this type. ElGordeaux's models look elegant and sound great.
